Rob, thanks for taking the lead on this issue.   

I did a search on book "Embedded SQL Programming" at all three versions
(5.2, 5.3 & 5.4) and only 5.2 does not mention this limitation.
However, I cannot see why I would have looked for this small bit of text
when using the EXTNAME() keyword.  The pre-compiler should state
explicitly that the third parameter is not supported when the compile
fails. 


Thanks, Matt

I've opened a pmr with IBM.  Their reply to me:
The precompiler does not support the third parameter of EXTNAME but we 
shouldn't error.  Can you send in recreates?
I'll go from here.  But, I wonder where that is documented?
